I don't know...

Should stupid people be allowed to drive, teach, use cell phones, drive trains, ipods, ipads, walk, run, etc?

Maybe we can build a super computer that can predict stupidity - what do you think?

Can i guess you've never made a mistake in your life?

One must pass a written and practical driving test in order to drive. Ditto for trains.

My point of the thread was to show the irresponsibility of some gun owners/gun huggers.

Nobody in their right mind would who considers themselves to be a responsible gun owner would take loaded guns to a gun show, nobody. I also pointed out that in some states, it is not legal to transport a long gun, rifle/shotgun with ammunition in it or loaded.

In the zeal to get guns to the gun shows to try and sell more and more because they think the government is coming for them, they simply, accidentally forgot to unload them. huh.

Guns on the tables of the gun show means anyone walking by can pick one up, get the "feel" of it, and come to find out, it was loaded.

This is one of the reasons open guns shows should be banned in all states, the other reason is the lack of criminal background checks at the shows, anyone can buy a gun. It would slow down the process for the person/s selling, such an inconvenience!

You are way off base and over-reacting to stupidity. Why aren't you asking that we ban driving. There are many deaths yearly, aren't there?

Guess why? Stupidity of the drivers...

Anything you do will not stop people from being stupid and killing themselves/others in the process...nothing...

You are against safety classes for guns because of the 2nd amendment. Makes perfect sense to me.

Next you will say it is a right for a convicted felon to own a gun too.

You are aware that many people have their driver's license revoked aren't you?

Again... do you see anything about license for guns in the constitution. Stop trying to be smart...

What happens if you are cutting a tree and it falls on top of somebody and kills them?

The same should happen to a gun owner. I am not calling for a removal of laws.

You want to change the second amendment, go ahead. All else is BS and unconstitutional.

Way to stop them from driving. You know how many drivers kill others while their license is suspended?

We do NOT need licenses for guns. The right was given to each citizen by the constitution/creator. Again, go change the second amendment, what are you afraid of?

It's just the morons bringing loaded guns to guns shows that are not!

How ignorant gun huggers really are.

What kind of big game were people going to shoot at a gun show?
Stupid, absolutely stupid people.
Where did anyone ever say that 'guns are totally safe?" Link? Quote?

I've been reading the gun press for over 30 years, and everything I've ever read is just the reverse. Non-stop warnings about how dangerous guns are, about the need for care and caution.

What kind of person conjures a thought from his brain and then attributes to an imaginary, vaguely defined group or person? Stupid, absolutely stupid people, perhaps?
